While Yang Yuanzhao was silently planning to add heritage to the northwest and China, a radio wave traveled through a vast distance and spread from the South China Sea to the northwest. The northwest machine that had been prepared had begun slowly to open up.

Yang Yuanzhao carefully chose a way to balance the difference in transportation capacity between Germany and the Northwest, and even balance the difference in currency and funds, which has reached the juncture of implementation.

The first 90,000 people were all captured by the British army. They crossed the seafront and arrived in China from faraway Europe. Even because of confidentiality, the British did not know that when they crossed the Strait of Malacca, otherwise the British would really have to make trouble. Unless Scher's special fleet took action, the current northwest was really helpless.

Before the first batch of prisoners of war arrived, the general situation of prisoners of war had been informed of the Northwest, and the Northwest also conducted preliminary identification and planning for this number. Most prisoners of war were still sent to small mines. Of course, the Northwest is not a black-hearted capitalist. He must maintain production volume instead of endless oppression. For these prisoners of war, in addition to the freedom to be controlled and the production situation is a certain danger, the labor time, living standards, and even their own respect are guaranteed.

In addition to these mines, Northwest even spent a lot of effort to find some places that were not suitable for Northwest people to work, and these would be sent to these prisoners of war.

The changes in society and the accumulation of wealth are always a process of production. Although flow will increase wealth, the basic and basic production are still the most basic, and the role of the intermediary is crucial.

Obtaining nearly ten million labor from Germany does not mean that the Germans have no vision. Of course, Germany knows that if the ten million labor can be used thoroughly, it can produce a large amount of things in Europe, which will greatly support Germany's European war, but it is not said that there is a feud between France and Germany. Not to mention war, few French people will serve Germany, let alone now, as the occupying power, occupying the northern part of France, and they are all prisoners. Although they are unable to cause chaos for Germany and launch an armed uprising or something, non-violent non-cooperation can still be done.

Germany is very clear about this, so it is so generous that it has collected so much manpower so generously. The salary paid by the Northwest is not low. After taking out part of it, Germany can share half of the price they created. Staying in Europe, not only increases the unstable factors, but also obtains part of the income. Anyone can calculate such a account.

The Northwest is now huge enough. Even if tens of millions of people may come, the Northwest will not have the adjustment of large-scale construction projects like a few years ago, especially the Baotou Special Zone. After several years of adjustment and de-industrialization, it has already become the prototype of a super city. Starting from the Ring Road in 1908, a huge modern city with a 6-ring passage and more than 15 satellite cities have been formed, covering an area of ​​more than 1,200 square kilometers and over 20 million people.

Countless personnel began to act. The radio waves were transmitted to all directions. The first batch of prisoners of war were allocated before the people had arrived completely. They would supplement all corners of the northwest. On the one hand, they would increase the output of raw materials in the northwest, and on the other hand, they would supplement the weak links in the northwest. As long as the manpower is used well this time, the northwest will consolidate its foundation and usher in a new round of takeoff.

In the East China Sea, a huge fleet is slowly running above the East China Sea. Bright red flags are flying in front of all ships. This red flag that everyone knew a few years ago has become a symbol of the Northwest. This fleet is a fleet of ocean-going fleets under the Northwest. They are all fleets coming from West Asia, with a total of 30 ships, all of which are cargo ships of more than 120,000 tons.

The ship is a container ship. Except for the ship deck, which contains more than a dozen large and small containers, the remaining cabins are densely arranged like honeycombs. From the arrival of Yang Yuanzhao in the northwest, steel structures and temporary structures have become the mainstream and normal. With the help of various partitions and processing tools, they can be divided into small compartments of different sizes in a wide space to increase the floor area ratio. It is a standardized container cabin, with a height of 3 meters, almost filling the entire space. On average, 8-12 people can be accommodated in each 15 square meter house. Such rooms are almost isolated from the entire ship.

In this way, bunk beds are densely spread throughout the cabin, each 120,000-ton cargo ship is filled with people. From the German side, prisoners of war are transported by 3B railway, and then slightly assembled in Basra and transported by a 10,000-ton cargo ship. A 10,000-ton giant ship is enough to accommodate more than 3,000 people. After all, the cargo ship is not a passenger ship, and many aspects need to be considered. The cabin needs relatively large. These people simply separate some small rooms in the large cargo ship cabin. The dense arrangement makes the place full of a special odor. This is many times better than the ships that the great powers used to traffic in black slaves. At least, they don’t ask you about the cleaning. There are food and clean water. This is also a blessing in disgrace.

The current northwest is completely different from before. Maritime transportation has always been paid more attention to in the northwest. After the start of the European War, this was even more so. After the first 5,000-ton cargo ship from the Jiangnan Shipyard entered the water, the Jiangnan Shipyard continued to expand with the support of the northwest's funds and technology. It now has more than 300,000 tons of docks, and various cargo ships almost filled the entire ship platform. It even received some orders from the United States and even the United Kingdom.

More orders are still from the northwest itself. Since the northwest became a world factory, the raw materials needed for the northwest face the world. In addition, the large-scale products were produced. Previously, because the northwest did not have enough merchant ships, it was a last resort. Now, when China has the production capacity of ocean freighters, of course it is chosen to buy them. However, every time the shipping is saved, it is enough to make China's products more competitive.

From European countries to purchasing old ships, plus newly launched by Jiangnan Shipyards, the scale of Northwest merchant ships has increased by 1 million tons per year. To this day, it is about 3 million tons. The route from Shanghai to Basra in the Middle East is an important business road between Northwest and Germany. It is generally a new merchant ship, not only fast speed, but also low transportation costs.

Originally, the transportation was relatively average, but from the beginning of the European war, the goods transported to Europe began to be far more than those transported from Europe. In this case, many ships returned empty-loaded, similar to railways. However, now, with the input of personnel, it is basically balanced. Although it is a little troublesome and needs to be modified, such modifications are only a day or two, but the freight is higher than the goods.

There were 3,000 people and no luggage. The prisoners of war were asked to only carry the most basic items. Some even had winter clothes in rags. With some food, the ten-ton cargo ships were basically empty. However, the Northwest provided a 10 yuan ticket for one person, and 3,000 people were 30,000. Today, when the Northwest was firm, it was not as good as the full cargo freight fee, but it was equivalent to 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. In this way, the profitability of the cargo ship would be much more balanced. If the Northwest had not stipulated some fast cargo ships and cargo ships above 10,000 tons, they would be qualified. Maybe many ships would flock to it, which was already a good benefit.

The Chinese Sea is not so calm in winter. The cold air from Siberia blows gusts of sea breeze. However, the specially made 10,000-ton cargo ship is moving smoothly on the sea, at a very fast speed, but not so bumpy. From the bus to China's thousands of miles of sea boundary, it is about to reach the focus. Whether it is these prisoners of war or the soldiers in charge of guarding the German army, they are already extremely tired. Fortunately, according to the distance, they may land in one or two days. This one starts from Europe, spans the Eurasian continent, and reaches the easternmost end of Asia, which is tens of thousands of kilometers. This is a long and difficult voyage. Fortunately, it is about to reach the focus, and the hard work along the way is almost over.

The prisoners of war were relatively loose on the ships, and the cabin was not closed. However, there were German army handles at several important exits. This was specially designed, with a permanent defense body made of 5-inch thick steel plates, and at least 5 machine guns were closed. It was precisely because of these that the inside of the ship did not prohibit the prisoners of war from the shipyard. These prisoners of war could still communicate with each other. Many British troops formed small groups in terms of region, background, friends, and other aspects, including officers.

Most of the officers who can be sent to cargo ships are lower-level officers. Generally speaking, it is good to have a lieutenant of the 3,000 people, most of them are second lieutenants. As for school-level officers, Germany has sent fewer ones, and the Northwest also attaches great importance to them. They are temporarily placed in Basra and are ready to be sent to them by cruise ships at one time. For these more advanced officers, the Northwest did not think of their use for the Northwest Military Academy. For the foreign coach, although the British army is not very good, the tradition of officers is good. The Northwest has expanded too quickly. It is the most important to learn from the world's strengths and improve one's own speed.

All prisoners of war, whether officers or ordinary soldiers, were confused. Since they boarded the ship, they knew where they were going. China, a once-glorious power, was stripped of the clothes of the great power in 1840 and became the target of everyone's beating. Now, it has become synonymous with ignorance and backwardness.

These soldiers are relatively frustrated. When they think of the possible encounters that may occur after they arrive in China, everyone is not very happy and their fate is unpredictable. (To be continued.)
